Wictory Wednesday!

I'm pleading, begging, and groveling, asking that you, my favorite reader, volunteer your time and or donate your money to the Bush 2004 campaign. You've never seen me write that he is the best president ever. I don't agree with everything he's done, but he's head-and-shoulders (knees and toes...oh, sorry) over Kerry.

There are only two more weeks to make your donation. After the RNC, you will not be able to make legal contributions. Your time as a volunteer is always appreciated.

And please, talk to your friends and relatives to make sure they understand just how important this election is. Their vote is every bit as important as your money and time.
If you have a blog, you can still join Blogs for Bush here.

Just 'cause I'm curious, how do conservatives justify Bush's seven-minute hesitation in the classroom on Sept 11, 2001?

When I was in the Navy back in 1998, my ship was traveling between Italy and Malta and the lights suddenly went out. We immediately started going to General Quarters and would have started opening up repair lockers, opening up ammunition storage, putting on uniforms, etc. The lights came back on before we could get very far.

Why did we react that way? Because we didn't know what was going on! When there is any doubt whatsoever, a real leader would have headed for a command post, a place where he could have received reports and from where he could have issued orders. Any base or ship would have sufficed, Air Force One was within driving distance. Once he'd got to Air Force One, where would he have had it fly to? Who cares? What matters is, he should have gotten there.

How do conservatives justify his lack of action?

I can't speak for anyone but myself. I don't consider that seven minutes a "hesitation" but waiting for information to come in. I believe he was told that a plane crashed into the Trade Center. At that point no one knew it was more than a terrible aviation tragedy. I think he did the reasonable thing by waiting until he had more information before going before the cameras to make a statement. Seven minutes? A relatively short period of time to wait for information. Should he have gone hysterically before the cameras and said that a plane went into the Trade Center but we don't know what happened? That would have looked very intelligent, don't you think?
